HEINEKEN Graduate Programme @ DB
The HEINEKEN Graduate Programme at DB Breweries is a global accelerated leadership programme designed for recent graduates who want to brew their career with one of the world's largest beer companies!
Based at our Waitemata Brewery in Auckland, the "HGP" is designed to grow future leaders for DB and HEINEKEN by providing you with the tools, support and experiences you'll need to succeed.
Throughout the programme, you'll get to apply your learning to real-world problems and make a tangible difference to our products and ways of working.
Applications for the HGP open around June-July each year for the following year's intake.
Our ideal candidates for the HGP are people who've graduated with a degree within the past two years. We look for people who have a degree relevant to the opportunity advertised; for instance, if we have a Supply Chain opening, our ideal candidate would hold a degree in science, supply chain, mechanical or electrical engineering.
Beyond qualifications, our ideal people will align with our four company values and demonstrate:
Our programme is based at our Waitemata Brewery and Support Office in Otahuhu, but you'll need the flexibility to relocate to one of our breweries in New Zealand or the Asia Pacific region for one of your assignments for 4-6 months. Relocation costs will be covered by DB.

The purpose of the HGP is to mould future leaders for DB and HEINEKEN so, at the conclusion of your four assignments, you'll "land" into a permanent middle management position where you'll further expand your experience on-the-job with the ongoing support of your line manager, HGP mentor, and the learning and development tools available at DB.
As a full-time permanent member of our team, you'll enjoy:
